Right, so my very first fanfic? This is going to suck but I might as well give myself something to work up from! It is full of OC's and there will be deaths later, but don't worry, no one we know and love. I will try (keyword there guys) to update every weekend, but it's only going to have around eight chapters anyway. This is just a test out story, absolutely NO RESEARCH was done.

And I don't own anything of this, except the bits I do own. Moral high ground is mine but the rights are not.

CHAPTER ONE

A study of Vendetta Monday Kyle by Charlie

I sat at my desk in class, looking at the clock, which seemed to move slower every second, like Abbey was messing with it or something. I just really wanted this long day to end, so I could go meet up with the Team like always. My gaze wandered from the clock to the window, twirling my cropped brown hair around my finger.

I was brought back to attention when my research assignment on Shakespeare was slapped down on my desk. I had somehow managed to find time to do it in between beating bad guys up in my awesome superhero persona, Starstruck and visiting dad. I had gotten an A+, which, if I'm being honest, I totally deserved. Then a new assignment arrived on my desk. I frowned. Didn't Ms Mitchell get tired of giving us endless assignments?

Well, maybe this one will be interesting.

Ms. Mitchell looked over the class and coughed loudly to gain attention. Everybody shut up.

"Right, so class, this time I want you to study a person. It can be a friend of yours, a celebrity or superhero or maybe even somebody you don't even know. I just want you to live and breathe this person, and then write about them, all their little quirks, what they look like and-"

DINGDINGDINGDING!

And suddenly the class was empty.

I ran home, my books banging awkwardly against my hip. My home is in one of the dirtier parts of Central City (I know, hard to believe there are dirtier parts in a place like that, but believe me, I know) but this business man called Bruce Wayne over in Gotham was funding an initiative to clean up the streets so it wasn't as bad as it was.

"Hey mom! I'm home! I yelled into the small apartment me and my mum shared.

"I'm in the kitchen so if you're heading out to see your superhero buddies I've got some cookies you can eat before going out!"

"Thanks!" I yelled back.

I moved to my bedroom and dumped my stuff all over my bed. I stripped quickly and put on my costume.

My costume consists of a skin-tight long-sleeved silver leotard contraption, that is actually made out of some bulletproof material (don't ask me, Batman got it for me), and a small gold miniskirt tutu cross. I wear gold boots and a gold mask and I have a golden star on my chest.

I ran down to the kitchen and stuffed a cookie in my mouth, before waving goodbye to mom and running to the Zeta tubes. Nightwing didn't like it when we were late.

When I arrived at the lower levels of the Watchtower we used as a base there was a good amount of people there already, despite the fact that we hadn't started yet. Of the Team only Cassie, Gar, Bart, Jaime and Abbey weren't there. Gar and Bart probably off doing something stupid and dragging Jaime along with them and Abbey found it hard to keep track of time anyway, being Split Second and being able to slow, speed up, stop and travel in time for the grand total of four seconds. Of the Justice League, Black Canary, Batman, Captain Marvel, Zatanna, Artemis, Wally, Red Arrow and the Flash were there, talking to Nightwing and M'gann and Connor.

I saw Vendetta (and that isn't even her superhero name) standing and talking to Solomon about something. I went up to them and smiled at Solomon. Being allergic to any sort of positive emotion he immediately went to talk to Batgirl, who was always serious.

"Hey Venny!" I said

She glared at me and for a moment I wondered whether she had been taking lessons from The Batman. Doubtful though, she had been glaring at everyone since she first came to the Team, especially me. I diagnosed automatic response to anything and everything.

"Hey Charlie." She responded stiffly. She must have been uncomfortable, having only been here a week. She would get over it. Probably.

"You excited for the weekend? I'm excited! No more school! Yay!" I pumped my fist in the air.

She glared at me. I wondered what was stopping her from using her mimicking skills and pretending she was excited. Maybe she had to have good reason to use them or something.

"Charlie! Venny!" I turned to see Cassie flying (I'm so envious) towards us.

"Cassie! How've you been?"

"Great! Schools over! Finally!" She pulled me into a tight hug.

"It's so great to see you back from whateverthatplaceis and- CASSIE STOP CRUSHING ME WITH YOUR SUPER STRENGTH!"

"Oops." She giggled "Sorry. Anyway Themyscira was so cool!"

And engage Fan-girl mode. "I learnt so much and the city is so great and it's filled with warrior women and omigod the beach was so beautiful and-"

"Everybody please be quiet and listen to this next mission." Nightwing said, BatglaringTM at everyone, but mostly Cassie. A nice stone building with an alfresco area and covered with ivy appeared on the screen behind him, "This restaurant in Star City seems to have unusual activity around it and strange transactions. By comparing and analysing the data we have we have come to the conclusion that this may be the central for an emerging criminal empire, one called by its members Weeds or Poison and led by an new supervillain- Lilac Thorns." A picture of the villainess came up on a screen, wearing what seemed to be like a thorny armour over a purple petal dress.

"Watch out people, it's the attack of the flower fairies!" yelled Bart sarcastically and a couple of people chuckled. Nightwing just shook his head. He was probably used to him by now.

"She probably gets outfit tips from Poison Ivy." Gar suggested and fist bumped Bart and a reluctant Jaime.

Nightwing cleared his throat menacingly. The boys shut up.

"Anyway, we need some discreetpeople who can blend in, in this covert mission."

And suddenly half our team was ruled out. Gar and La'gaan were way too conspicuous. Cassie and Solomon are sucky at being normal and Abbey had trouble with her power in stressful situations. The Bat's all had secret identities and as far as I knew their names weren't even entered in their files.

"So, Mal and I will be on communications as always. Miss Martian will be waiting outside with Beta squad as backup, which will consist of Beast Boy, Wonder Girl, Superboy, Split Second, Lagoon Boy and The Sorrow. Miss Martian, scan the customers minds and Sorrow, scan their emotional states. Robin and Batgirl will be combing information to find out more on Lilac Thorn."

"Alpha squad will collect information from inside. You will pretend to be couples out for a nice date. You will be Lyrebird with Impulse, Exchange with Bumblebee and Starstruck with Blue Beetle. You will be covert- this is an information mission only."

There was silence for a few moments.

"Please." Nightwing added pleadingly.

Vendetta, who was Lyrebird, actually managed a smile and a nod. I was amazed.

Who knew that there was somebody underneath all that glaring?

Then I had it. In that very moment I knew who my study was going to be on. Totally without her permission of course and leaving out the superhero biz. Vendetta Monday Kyle was an interesting person under all that mimicking and I was going to find her.

And that's a wrap folks! What will happen next time? Well I guess you'll just have to wait! Ha!

Sorry if any characters are OOC but that is what happens when I do absolutely no research.

Well, umm, bye now...
